Hones in Cannes 2025: New ‘decent’ fashion rules to focus on films?
Is the new step to ban Voluminus outfits and naked dressing on the Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet is a step to focus on films from fashion?
Just before the much awaited opening of the Cannes Film Festival, its organizing committee abandoned a bomb: New Dress Code Rules.
The International Film Festival, which has become extremely popular for its star-stasted, extraordinary red carpet moments, is now likely to remember your trademark drama. No nudity (sheer clothes), no voluntary silhouette, and long trains. For all ‘decency’ reasons.
“For the causes of decency, nudity is restricted on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival,” read the updated guidelines. Hold, there is more: “Voluminus outfits, especially people with a large train, who obstruct the proper flow of guests and complicate sitting in the theater, are not allowed.”
The fiery Shatorial Drama has long been the strongest partner of Cannes Red Carpet. Some although not all, we agree – one of the most memorable fashion moments characterized by Indian celebrities at the prestigious film festival is their influence for wastage.
Remember when Deepika Padukone finally shed her ‘safe style’ image on Cannes 2018 Red Carpet, arrived in a wide hot pink ash studio gown? With its dramatic ruffles and exaggerated shoulders, the look shouted the high-octane glamor. The following year, he made another unforgettable-and widely by Giambattista Valli in Memord-The-Tul Tulle Green Gown.

India’s OG Kan Rani, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, have often turned into a large-to-life gown to perform their red carpet on French Riviera. While he started his ear journey in a smooth, thin silhouette-and was largely stuck with him by 2017-which was a stable stream of a stable, statement-making looks year-on-year.

Effectors such as Nancy Tyagi also rely on billing the silhouettes and layers on the layers of the ruffles – which is enough to be practically lost – all to stand out in a bid and gain visibility on the red carpet.

Even for international celebrities, these newly banned elements (thinking that preparing as naked dressing-Riskisabels) and wide silhouettes are options for making remarkable red carpet moments.
And what if someone decides to dig the new dressing guidelines? Celebrity will not be allowed to run on red carpet.
“The teams welcoming the festival will be obliged to stop the reach of the red carpet to anyone who does not respect these rules,” says new updates.
A step to focus on movies?
In the Cannes Film Festival, the increasing dominance of fashion on cinema is something that debates every year. Despite being one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world, ears often make more headlines for their extraordinary red carpet showing compared to films.
Over time, this innings has become more clear only, in which fashion coverage oversees real films. In addition, the increasing appearance of the affected and material creators on the festival has only added it.
Fashion stylists Divyak D’Souza, who work with celebrities like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Malaika Arora, believe that he normally speaks of dress code, “stating that he can sometimes” obstruct self-expression and use in fashion “.
At the same time, he recognizes that events such as Cannes Film Festival come up with their sets of expectations. “It is important to respect the institutional structure of an event, and to consider the perspective of the organizers and how they imagine the festival,” they say.
D’Souza feels that, in recent years, the Red Carpet has begun to accept the main objective of the festival. “At the end of the day, the ear is a film festival,” he says. “And I think, especially in the last few years, attention has been rapidly away from cinema, it often looks like a photo opportunity or fashion parade compared to the film’s celebration.”
“Don’t misunderstand me – I love a great red carpet moment and really enjoy red carpet fashion,” they say.
“I don’t believe that it is a platform to be provocative or wear outfits that are barely. Nor do I think impractical, highly voluntary attire is appropriate when you are only participating in a film screening,” D’Souza tells India today.
However, no one can ignore the role of a completely major fashion and lifestyle brands that sponsor the festival and their celebrity ambassadors run on the red carpet. This year, for example, L’Oreal, Chopard, and KERing are once again among the top sponsors.
The new dress code revelation just before the Film Festival Kick-Starts may have left many celebrities and their stylists on the shore, especially if they were planning to wear voluntary or rescue shero.
He said, the ear red carpet is also known for its rebellious fashion moments. Remember Helgate? The term is the date of 2015, when 50 women were denied access to the ear red carpet for not wearing heels. In 2016, Julia Roberts went barefoot, and Kristen Stewart wore flats. In 2018, when Stewart was a jury member, he took a boulder step from walking from stairs to barefoot.

So, you never know that there may still be some naked clothes, long trains, and a hearty dose of the play, for which the ear is known for the red carpet!
